Thermolysis of Fe(N═C(t)Bu2)4 (1) for 8 h at 50 °C generates the mixed valent Fe(III)/Fe(II) bimetallic complex Fe2(N═C(t)Bu2)5 (2) in moderate yield. Also formed in this reaction are tert-butyl cyanide, isobutane, and isobutylene, the products of ketimide oxidation by the Fe(4+) center. Reaction of 1 with 1 equiv of acetylacetone affords the Fe(III) complex, Fe(N═C(t)Bu2)2(acac) (3), concomitant with formation of bis(tert-butyl)ketimine, tert-butyl cyanide, isobutane, and isobutylene. In addition, the Mössbauer spectra of 1 and its lower-valent analogues [Li(12-crown-4)2][Fe(N═C(t)Bu2)4] (5) and [Li(THF)]2[Fe(N═C(t)Bu2)4] (6) were recorded. We also revisited the chemistry of Fe(1-norbornyl)4 (4) to elucidate its solid-state molecular structure and determine its Mössbauer spectrum, for comparison with that recorded for 1.

Terminal aluminium and gallium imides of the type K[(NON)M(NR)], bearing heteroatom substituents at R, have been synthesised via reactions of anionic aluminium(I) and gallium(I) reagents with silyl and boryl azides (NON=4,5-bis(2,6-diisopropyl-anilido)-2,7-di-tert-butyl-9,9-dimethyl-xanthene). These systems vary significantly in their lability in solution: the N(Si Pr ) and N(Boryl) complexes are very labile, on account of the high basicity at nitrogen. Phenylsilylimido derivatives provide greater stabilization through the π-acceptor capabilities of the SiR group.

The development of an effective and selective chemosensor for CN ions has become the need of the hour due to their hazardous impact on the environment and humans. Herein, we report the synthesis of two novel chemosensors, IF-1 and IF-2 based on 3-hydroxy-2-naphthohydrazide and aldehyde derivatives that have shown selective sensing of CN ions. IF-2 exhibited exclusive binding with CN ions that is further confirmed by the binding constant value of 4.

In this study, we report the synthesis, characterization, and reactions of Cu(I) complexes of the general form Cu(L)(LigH) (LigH = xanthene-based heterodinucleating ligand (E)-3-(((5-(bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino)-2,7-di-tert-butyl-9,9-dimethyl-9H-xanthen-4-yl)imino)methyl)benzene-1,2-diol); L = PMe, PPh, CN(2,6-MeCH)). New complexes [Cu(PMe)(LigH)] and [CuCN(2,6-MeCH)(LigH)] were synthesized by treating [Cu(LigH)](PF) with trimethylphosphine and 2,6-dimethylphenyl isocyanide, respectively. These complexes were characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy, high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS), and X-ray crystallography.

(R)-4-((R)-1-((6-(1-[tert-butyl]-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-2-methyl-2H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyridin-4-yl)oxy)ethyl)pyrrolidin-2-one (BI 894416, 1) and (R)-4-((R)-1-((6-(1-[tert-butyl]-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-2,3-dimethyl-2H-indazol-4-yl)oxy)ethyl)pyrrolidin-2-one (BI 1342561, 2) are two new potent and selective spleen tyrosine kinase inhibitors developed to treat severe asthma. Both compounds have similar structures and they differ only in the bicyclic moiety 2-methyl-2H-pyrazolo[4,3-c]pyridine in 1 versus 2,3-dimethyl-2H-indazole in 2. In the carbon 14 synthesis, 1-(1-[tert-butyl]-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)ethan-1-one-1- C ([ C]-8) was prepared from the cyanation of 4-bromopyrazole using zinc [ C]cyanide followed by methyl lithium addition on the nitrile group.

The interaction of -dilithionaphthalenes with organic cyanides was studied. Instead of the expected -diimines, the reaction leads to the formation of three types of benzo[]isoquinolines. Treatment of unsubstituted 1,8-dilithionaphthalene with aromatic nitriles results in the formation of 1-amino-1,3-diaryl-1-benzo[]isoquinolines.
